+1 Stunning.

i actually heard it off this cd first:
http://www.amazon.com/Sacred-Treasures- ... B00003XB5E

has also many wonderful choral works on it, really one of my favorite cd's actually

[the_antagonist]

i need to get some more...but there is so much crap

hundreds of years of crap that is.

and i thought finding good electronic music was hard.

and yet its called "classical"

it should have been called "original" music

[mikemc]

btw, a really amazing classical violinist

[hurlingdervish]

how about more solo pianist and string quartet stuff? the orchestral stuff is a bit too your face for my tastes

[sleepingbird]

there has been a sort of "new" generation of absolutely mesmerizing composers around, often combining electronics with classical sounds.

some of my all time favs are:

max richter - the blue notebooks
peter broderick - float
jacaszek - treny
sylvain chaveau - nuage
joanna newsom - ys


as for the old school, definitely missing:

erik satie
chopin

Toru Takemitsu

Joanna Newsom is amazing...actually thats pretty much what got me asking. I had heard her years ago, but i recently remembered her and have been listening to it like non stop.

ZOMG!!!!

Upon listening to the Gorecki Symphony no.3, per your recommendations, I realized the first movement sounded oddly familiar. Hybrid's "Wide Angle" album lifted motifs from Gorecki! I can't remember which track, but it's in there....

I've had this happen before with Hybrid's "Wide Angle" album: They also lifted bits from "Ase's Death", from Greig's Peer Gynt.

You'll find all these dark & scary items on the soundtrack to 'The Exorcist':
Hans Werner Henze - Fantasia For Strings
Anton Webern - Five Pieces For Orchestra, Op 10
Krzysztof Penderecki - Polymorphia; String Quartet (1960)

And these on 'The Shining' soundtrack:
Gyorgy Ligeti - Lontano
Bela Bartok - Music For Strings, Percussion & Celesta
Krzysztof Penderecki - Utrenja (Excerpt); The Awakening of Jacob; De Natura Sonoris #1; De Natura Sonoris #2; Polymorphia

Be afraid, be very afraid...

If you like opera then Benjamin Britten's 'Peter Grimes' is a remarkable piece of work, sort of like the classical/opera version of Nine Inch Nails 'The Downward Spiral'. Astonishing music!

Sounds great,,,,
You can try

[Jacqueslacouth]

Taverner and Tallis, The Western Wynde Mass. Brilliant choral piece from the middle ages...I think around the time of Chaucer but don't quote me on that.

[Sage]

If you want dark, just listen to Requiems by different composers.

Or get lots of Ligeti
